I want one. "Beauty with a double chin--" does it get any better than that? Well, yes, if you have an Edmunds intake mounting two Stromberg 97s and a set of Fenton cast iron headers. I just read a book from 1950 about making stock-block engines produce more power, and now I really want a flathead straight-six or straight-eight.

Husky's a great adjective. It's like "fat" with the demeaning connotation removed.

Gotsa have me that pimpin' ride. !!

Once I met a guy that had a Olds 455 in a beautiful 49 New Yorker. Nice ride.

I think '42 was the year the fenders flowed back into the doors across the GM line. Well, Cadillac might have had this earlier, I can't remember.

This looks like something that would have been shown in a movie theater.

Triple-duty bumpers were planned for '43. Damn war.

Damn what a gorgeous car!

I'd rather pull up to the country club in one of these than, say, a new Bentley.

Seriously.
